PROJECTS

Local timber and bronzed mirror wrap the pared-back spaces of this refreshed Queenslander, which draws in its leafy suburban surrounds.

Taking cues from mid-century modern design, this apartment in Brisbane’s classic Torbreck tower combines period character with contemporary functionality.

Vokes and Peters has refurbished a warehouse in Brisbane’s West End, incorporating the character of the subtropical context.

A new hotel in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley is evocative of luxury tropical resorts yet also carefully assimilates into the emerging urban character of the James Street precinct.

In rethinking the “raise and build under” renovation strategy so often applied to Queenslander houses, Vokes and Peters has added an elegant layer to the narrative of this historically rich dwelling.

An exercise in shaping tall volumes, sculpting light and layering materials, this Brisbane home by Bligh Graham Architects is an exciting exemplar for small-lot housing in subtropical suburbia.
